Route to Christmas: Day 24

To celebrate the last day in this years “Route to Christmas”, I have chosen a really long leg from the Norwegian Champs in night orienteering with several different distinct route choice options. Organizers were NTNUI orienteering, and the venue was Trondheim north in Norway. The leg chosen is leg 4 from category H21.

First take a look at the map without routes – and think about how you would attack this leg (if the map is too small, you may click on it to get it larger – click again outside the map to close it):

Update 2020: WebRoute

Back in 2007 there was no WebRoute in Route to Christmas – this has now been added to all old ‘Route to Christmas’ in March 2020. You can draw your own route using the ‘Webroute’ below. Think through how you would attack this leg, and draw the route you would have made.

Then you can take a look at how the runners who have drawn their route choice solved this leg:
